Spring BeanFactory via useBeanFactory

[Bhushan Bhangale]

I have successfully used jsf-spring with jsf on jboss. The only problem is this -

I want to define my spring bean config like this. Seggregating the beans in different files.

<beans>
    <bean id="com.lastminute.judith.dashboard" class="org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext">
        <constructor-arg>
            <list>
                <value>datasource-context.xml</value>       
                <value>dao-context.xml</value>       
                <value>user-context.xml</value>       
            </list>
        </constructor-arg>
</bean>
</beans>

I define this faces config trying to access judithSessionManager defined in user-context.xml above. But faces doesn't find the bean. I know some where the creation of spring BeanFactory should be via beanFactoryLocator.useBeanFactory("com.lastminute.judith.dashboard"). But where do I plugin this? Please help.

<faces-config>
    <managed-bean>
        <managed-bean-name>userAction</managed-bean-name>
        <managed-bean-class>com.lastminute.judith.dashboard.dao.user.UserAction</managed-bean-class>
        <managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
        <managed-property>
            <property-name>judithSessionManager</property-name>
            <value>#{judithSessionManager}</value>
        </managed-property>
    </managed-bean>
</faces-config>

I found the solution after going through the jsf-spring java code.

One need to define these two context params
   
    <context-param>
        <param-name>faces.spring.context.locatorFactorySelector</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/judith-dashboard-context.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <context-param>
        <param-name>faces.spring.context.parentContextKey</param-name>
        <param-value>com.lastminute.judith.dashboard</param-value>
    </context-param>

And remove this listener

<listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
